WINNER OF THE RUSSELL PRIZE HUMOUR WRITING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE CBCA BOOK OF THE YEAR: YOUNGER READERS 2025 Zee is a loner. She likes to read Oscar Wilde and watch documentaries all day which, according to her parents, is not normal for 13 year olds. So they decide to send her on a five-day holiday camp, hoping she'll make 'at least one friend'. Now, Zee would rather take a bath in Tabasco sauce than attend a camp called Youth Fusion. But with influencer Tiffanee and super-nerds Jonah and Moses, she soon finds herself in the middle of a hair-rising mystery, hurling her into some fierce detective work and bringing her face to face with the notorious Old Bat Viv. LONGLISTED FOR THE AUSTRALIAN BOOK DESIGN AWARDS 2025 BEST DESIGNED CHILDREN'S FICTION BOOK Praise for Laughter is the Best Ending: 'Laugh out loud material, whip smart writing, and meaningful. I had a little cry at the end.' Karen Foxlee, author of Lenny's Book of Everything 'I found it so energising! Zee plays with words like a gymnast. We click with her from the very start - she's funny, frank, fair and feisty! This story will be a hit with young readers.' Anna Fienberg, author of the Tashi series
